1 Kings Chapters 21:01-22:53
Why did the prophet rebuke Ahab for “selling himself”? Have you also “sold yourself” like Ahab? From Naboth's vineyard to the threshing floor of Araunah, and finally to the body of Christ as the temple, how should we understand God's sovereignty and redemption? What does the eschatological nature of the gospel mean? Do you merely enjoy Christ's love and redemption, or are you truly ruled by Him?
1 Kings Chapter 20.01-20.43
What significant impact did Ahab's worship of Baal have on his behavior? Why was Ahab rebuked despite winning the war against Aram? How did Yahweh demonstrate His sovereignty through the prophet's declaration and judgment, revealing the connection between faith and action?
1 Kings Chapter 19.1-19.21
From the heights of Mount Carmel to the depths of Mount Horeb, facing Jezebel's pursuit, why did Elijah grow weak and flee? How did the Lord restore his faith with mercy and commands, calling him to continue his service?
1 Kings Chapter 18:01-18:46 B
Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and the Lord sent fire to consume the sacrifice, demonstrating that He is the only true God. From the drought to the heavy rain, how should we understand God's grace and judgment, as well as the believer's obedience and spiritual warfare in times of trial?
1 Kings Chapter 18:01-18:46 Part A
Elijah obeyed the command of Yahweh on Mount Carmel, confronting Ahab and the people of Israel, and proclaiming God's judgment and grace. God's glory was manifested as fire fell and consumed the sacrifice. How should we understand the sovereignty of the true God and the turning back of the people?
1 Kings Chapter 17:01-17:24
Elijah appeared out of nowhere to declare judgment upon Israel! God provided for him through ravens, supplied the widow with unending flour and oil, and resurrected her son, demonstrating His authority over life and death! Why is it said that we today are like that destitute widow facing the desperate situation of death? How does God's grace come to the Gentiles in times of desperation? How can we today emulate Elijah in trusting God?
1 Kings Chapters 15.01-16.34
What was God's standard for judging the goodness or wickedness of the kings of the northern and southern kingdoms, and how does the Bible record them? From the Old Testament to the New Testament, how does God govern His people? What kind of testimony is a testimony for Christ?
1 Kings Chapter 14:1-14:31
The world regards the thrones of Jeroboam and Rehoboam as high, and their idols as glorious, but what about you and me? Do we know the King who is angry above the golden calves and the high places—the LORD of Hosts? How is God's righteousness manifested in the Christian's life through grace and judgment?
1 Kings 12:25-13:34
Jeroboam made golden calves, led the people in worshiping them, and thus the Northern and Southern kingdoms officially split! A man of God prophesied judgment, yet he himself was deceived by an old prophet, disobeyed, and died. Will God's will fail because of human rebellion? How is God's righteous kingdom established and expanded in Christ?
1 Kings 11:26-12:24
Israel was divided into a northern and a southern kingdom, yet why is it said that the kingdom of God was not divided? How do the rise of Jeroboam and the failure of Rehoboam manifest God's sovereignty and righteousness? From the kingship of the Old Testament to the church of the New Testament, how are we to live under the governance of God?
